So, a Fairy Tail video recently popped up on my recommendation list on YouTube and I've been watching Fairy Tail since. I have heard of it before and seen a few characters, Gray, Gajeel, Erza and Lucy did catch my attention. Send help pls. How do I get out. ;u; I have since fallen for Loke, aside from Gray.

i'll give my opinions, in order ;o
hxh: pretty great series. most people will tell you to watch the 2011, but the original one is pretty fun too. (if you've ever seen and liked yuuyuu hakusho you will like this)
ngnl: absolutely hated this series. i found it dumb, uncomfortable and cringey (and this is coming from someone who loves inferno cop) but it's wildly popular
y!!oi: it's... okay?? so far. i was expecting another ginban kaleidoscope and not the fangirl-bait that it is, but it's pretty enjoyable.
gintama: yooo, this has been my favorite series for about 6-ish years now, haha. i totally recommend it to everyone, but there are some anime and cultural references that may go over your head if you don't know them
drrr!: i think it's a neat series. it's pretty fun and interesting, and while not all the characters are memorable, there's a few that everyone loves
hq!: haven't kept up with it in a while, but it's cute and fun. if you've ever seen kuroko's basket or ace of diamond, it's like that, but volleyball.
one piece: mixed feelings. it's a crazy, wonderful and interesting world with wild characters (and body proportions lol) but the anime suffers from being way too long and having way too much filler. it's not bad though.

Haikyuu, Durarara, and Yuri on Ice is definitely worth watching. Ive never seen the others before, but I think One Piece is mainstream, so it should be pretty good, and I've heard some good things about Gintama and Hunter X Hunter before, I suppose. I don't know much about No Game No Life but I think the art style is pretty good (?)

I've seen or in the process of watching 5 out of the 7 you mentioned
so I'll give you my opinions on the animes im familiar with.

Hunter x Hunter
I'm about 81 episodes into the 2011 version, and I find that its very very well made.
I've talked to the fans of the manga, and according to them the 2011 series follows
the manga closer than the first one did, but I don't see any problem with watching
the older one if you'd like. I choose the 2011 anime because 1990-1999 era art
style, but if that isn't an issue then it's ultimately up to you!
The storyline itself is very free. The characters have the option to be whatever they
want to be, and it's very enlightening to see each of them persue their goals. There
are four main characters, and though it focuses the most on Gon and Killua, Kurapika
and Leorio are fantastic and I've never felt that they've been left out. When you
start wondering what Leorio and Kurapika are up to, usually they pop up before too
long.
It's a shounen anime, so it's going to share tropes that you might find in other shounen
counterparts (ex; bleach, naruto, one piece), but don't expect the anime to take
the tropes and use them in the overused and cliche fashions we're most used to.
Before getting into HxH, I had read a lot of reviews that said HxH used the shounen
genre in a more imaginative way? Though I don't know how to explain that, I do
agree. The easiest and probably the most familiar thing that are paired with
shounen animes is their arcs.
They're long, drawn out, broken up in some cases. Can be disrupted with filler and
can sometimes be very grueling. I've watched Bleach and I'm watching Naruto and
One Piece, and OP had a recent arc that was about 150+ episodes. It was good,
but it was long and I'm not about to lie, I skipped episodes. Some stuff, you can
move past and you won't miss much.
In HxH the arcs are perfect in length. The longest arc in the series is the last one,
which i'm currently on. I didn't feel like any of the episodes were a drag to get
through and keeping up with the information being told is much, much easier.

My final opinion on hxh is, if you're new to shounen or to longer animes in general,
i'd say this one is perfect. You'll be engrossed in the plot, and even if you take a
break from the anime you won't be confused when you continue later on. The
characters, both bad and good, are wonderfully made and I don't think there's a
single character I hate. Regardless of their alignment I love them all and that is
really really hard to do.

Yuri On Ice
This one's cute. There is so much hype surrounding it that I feel it took away
from the series for me. But that's just my personal opinion. I think sports
animes are a lot of fun, generally, and I like that this one isn't set in a high
school. Not to diss the ones that are, because those ones are very good too,
but after a handful of series set consecutively in the high school area its nice
to have a change up. To get a look into professional sports, specifically one
that's rarely talked about.
Animation and art is gorgeous. Characters are entertaining, and low-key gay
as hell but it adds the the charm, I promise.
It's ongoing, so episodes will come out weekly until it's finished airing.

Durarara!!!
Besides being very entertaining to say outloud at rapid pace, the anime is very
good. I'm only mid first season, so I don't think I've gotten far enough in the
series to give a qualified recommendation, but I think it's worth a shot. Though
I say that about everything. The character's are fun from what I've seen, there's
certianly some plot twists you'll get a kick out of like I did. If you aren't careful
and don't pay attention, there's a chance you'll miss a really important context
clue or detail and it won't pop up until later and you'll probably be like "????"
so watch out for that, but it's good. Give it a try.

Haikyuu!!
Okay. I've got a hate/love relationship with this series. I love the characters, the
plot, the fact that it's a sports anime in general and bla bla bla. But, the hype.
I'm a grouch, but I've been drowned in haikyuu stuff since it gained a spike in an
audience and to say i'm ready for it to die down is a bit of an understatement. I
do truly think that the series is wonderful, and worth watching, but again, all
the hype has drained me.
Honestly, any major (or mainstream, i guess) sports anime is worth trying. Haikyuu,
Kuroko no Basket, Ace of Diamond, Yowamushi Pedal, Free, Baby Steps!, Hajime no
Ippo, etc etc.
All of them will teach ya something and you'll experience a lot of emotions. Be
warned.

One Piece
Okay, so. I've seen Bleach, Naruto, and One Piece. I'm gonna be honest and up front
and tell you that if you are not preapred to commit to OP or if you're considering
one of the others' - do not watch it. These series are lengthy, some are
filled with an excruciating amount of filler, etc etc. The main character always
prevails. There will be times when they don't of course, but most of the time, the
main character is extremely powerful with the potential to get even more powerful.
I love shounens, especially the mainstream trio. I don't regret watching any of them,
nor do I regret the time it took to watch them.
In fact, One Piece might just be my favorite of the three, and if time and commitment
isn't a issue, I'd recommend this one 110%. But only if you don't mind that it can
be cliche and trope-y. I love OP, i do. But other people here will tell you their dislikes
about the series and they're definitely something to consider if you're picky about that
kind of thing.
I don't mind the cliches or the fact that Luffy, Naruto, and Ichigo are over-powered to
the moon and back - it's fine. I find their personalities all very endearing and the plots
all really appeal to me.
One Piece is an enigma. The world is obscenely expansive, there's constant clashing between
two sides and I've loved every bit of it. I have, truly. My favorite character comes from
OP and the journey gets more serious as you watch. The beginning 100 episodes or so are
very joke-y and you're definitely going to get a "this anime doesn't take itself seriously'
vibe for a great while, but there are moments as you meet the main characters where
that silliness dissipates and things are very real. Plotwise, at least.
If nothing's holding you back, please, by all means, watch it. It's wonderful but I'm so very
biased.

In the end, it's up to you. These animes are very good, but personal preference plays a
big part in all of these. Sometimes it's okay to follow the hype trains because they helped
me find plenty of animes and mangas that I adore to this day, but it's okay to follow your
own preferences and watch things not many other people watch too.

Also sorry if I sound like I'm treating you like some inexperienced person? I don't know why
I do that lmao please don't take it the wrong way.

Good luck!

Out of the list you gave, I've only seen No Game No Life, so I'll tell you about that.

"No Game No Life" (Nōgēmu Nōraifu - ノーゲーム・ノーライフ) is available on DVD, Blu-Ray, kissanime.to, and I don't believe it is available on Netflix.
I have many reasons why I love this anime so much.
1. The coloration is stunning. Out of all of the animes I've seen, this one will probably always remain my favorite anime in terms of color. The color palettes used in this anime are GORGEOUS. Bright, cheery, and filled with interesting and eye-pleasing combinations, "beautiful" doesn't begin to describe the gorgeous colors present in nearly every minute in this anime. Even in the darker, more monotone scenes, coloration still plays a huge part. Every single minute of this anime is filled with gorgeous colors that compliment each other so beautifully that I can't even begin to describe the beauty I see when I watch this show.
2. The characterization is very interesting. While you only see the characters for a short while, you get to know each of them very well. In the short time the producers had to make the anime, they fleshed out their characters very well. Each character is unique and different from another - they each have their strengths and weaknesses, and are each very interesting to look at individually as well as a unit.
3. The animation is gorgeous. The animation style in this is different from pretty much any other anime I've seen, and I can't put my finger on why it's different - it just is. The backgrounds they use are amazing, and the scenery is stunning, not just in terms of coloration, but in terms of design as well.
4. This anime is humerus. I love laughing, and I smiled pretty much through this entire anime. There are many jokes, as this anime leans more towards the lighter side, and is really an enjoyable one that you'd want to watch if you want to escape from life and not be reminded about your surroundings for awhile.

WARNING: This anime contains a bit of adult material, but nothing too graphic. While it contains fight scenes, it is not as bloody or dark as "Black Butler" or "Puella Magi Madoka Magica." It contains quite a few innuendos, but they are always said in a funny or comical light, and thus aren't usually taken seriously. This anime is pretty light and comical, so there's not much to worry about.
In terms of me loving this anime, from episode 1 I was hooked.

EPISODES: This anime only has one season. The season has 12 episodes in it. There are Light Novels that continue the adventure, however, so if you want to continue your interest in the anime, you can always read the novels. There is now also talk about a movie coming out for this sometime next year in 2017, so keep your eyes peeled for the new movie!
